These are some of my favorite oil paintings that were sold in 2013. Yay! So appreciate each and every one of my art patrons, from this year and through the years. Your support and encouragement mean a great deal. I'm also now leasing artwork and teaching art classes to adults and children 9 to 12 years of age, here in my home studio. Contact me if interested. More inspired work to come so stay tuned. All the best to your and yours in 2014.

I am enjoying painting abstracted landscape imagery, particularly of Lake Austin. Unexpected surprises arise when I explore techniques such as multiple layers, interesting new color mixes and a variety of textures.

This Friday and Saturday, December 13 and 14th, I am hosting a Holiday Art Sale in my home and home studio. Email, text or FB message me for my address. The inside of our home is decked out for the season and my paintings are hanging throughout the house — an homage to myself! If you are in Austin, pop by!

About Me

As an artist, I work in oil and pastel and paint a variety of subjects. Simplification of my subjects has revealed a love of abstraction. I move seamlessly between representation and abstract work, always focusing on composition, value, movement, color and texture. I work in my home studio in Austin and teach oil and acrylic painting lessons to children and adults. My color and shaped-inspired works have been exhibited in galleries, museums, public spaces and festivals around the US, and many have found their way into private collections.
I am also a spiritual person. These areas of my life overlap. Sometimes my angel "downloads" influence my art, and my art gives way to divine insights. When these fields cross, you may see cross posts! All good!! Feel free to visit Debbi's Angel Blog and Debbi Smith Rourke's Art Blog.
